Actually that term is not technically true, because I was actually born in wed-lock. But I think you know what I'm going on about.
You don't?
Well let me explain:
By some incredible miracle, for which I am surely bound to suffer many years of pain and torture, I have unbelievably passed my Second year of my Computer Science Degree with an average of 70%. In English that means, if I carry this on through to my final year, I'm on the verge of a first class honours degree.
Woo Hoo!

I think *learn* is a bit of a strong word. Siting-in-front-of-computers-spending-all-my-time-on-hootoo is probably more appropriate.
Anyway, thanks

Well to cut a long story short : Yeah it was. Damn hard. But to be honest I didn't think I'd revised well enough to get the result I did.
I guess someone in the University must like me

*nods head sagely*
Ah.
I'm at Heriot-Watt in Edinburgh.
Isn't JANET wonderful?

Terran Posted Jun 19, 2003
JANET? You mean the large woman who works in the off shop around the corner of the university 
I assume you mean the network. I can't recall them calling our network JANET. I've heard people call it a lot of other things which can't be mentioned on a family website .
It has its good times and its bad times. Mostly bad times, but it works most of the time...just
Anyway, thanks
Whats it like up there in Edinburgh?

"off shop", I think this should be just shop

Edinburgh good. Busy, but good. Unfortunately I'm one of the scum commonly referred to as postgrads, so no holiday for me 
JANET - Joint Academic NETwork...
or T1 in the office for me, anyway
